Fifteen Minutes With You: things that are apparently representative of passivity in characters:

successfully deciphering the subtleties of court customs at 11 years old

plotting and carrying out a political maneuver to save your father’s life after he commits treason

surviving public physical and emotional abuse and continuing to perform in public as the dutiful wife and future queen

living with your father’s murderers, your survival and safety entirely dependent on your pitch-perfect performance of deference and loyalty to them

risking your life in an attempt to escape and evade those who are keeping you hostage (reminder: these are the most powerful people in the realm and your father’s murderers)

calming other women during a battle at 12 years old

attempting to navigate the tenuous social order at court and build relationships, knowing these relationships can lead to the same accusations of betrayal and treason that killed your father as you watched

acting in an elaborate, precarious deception in a long term con to reclaim your home, title, and safety
